Davis is currently the star of ABC’s How to Get Away with Murder, and has starred in The Help, Fences, and Widows. Amanda Waller is described as “a former congressional aide and government agent who is often placed in charge of the Suicide Squad, a semi-secret government-run group of former super villains working in return for amnesty.”

And if Davis’ return wasn’t enough of a confirmation that this isn’t a reboot, Discussing Film has heard Joel Kinnaman is set to reprise his role as Rick Flagg as well. Neither of these reports have been confirmed by Warner Bros., but with the film set to start filming in the fall of this year, we should hear confirmations soon.

I’m excited to see Davis return in the role. She truly was one of the shining stars of Suicide Squad. Her role is important and affirms the idea of continuity between the current structure of DC’s Cinematic Universe.

Revenge of the Fans is a nerd-leaning news, analysis, and enjoyment project. The site was started in early 2018, in the dark days before anyone on the Internet had anything to say about comic book movies or pop culture. The site was the idea of Mario Francisco Robles, a man with his finger on the pulse of the comic book movie industry, and Jon, a person who we aren’t completely sure isn’t a figment of Mario’s imagination.
